Ok, so I have been looking at the Grow! whey and the Metabolic Drive articles from a while ago, and had a question about absorption. For a breakfast shake, would it really matter a whole lot whether you used a whey isolate or a casein protein? Basically what I am asking is if there is a substantial difference between the two as an ingredient in my breakfast shake.
I personally don’t think so, because even if you take in a slow absorbing protein, your body’s uptake of any nutrients will be accelerated due to it recovering from a fasted state.
To be honest I don’t see a reason why all of your shakes can’t be a blend.
Maybe whey provides faster absorption pwo and combined with a fast digesting carb that would be good.
Otherwise a whey + casein blend is good.
For those of you worried about getting something absorbed fast try BCAA and other Amino supplements…

Metabolic Drive by itself is a blend of Casein and Whey.
I personally use one scoop of Metabolic Drive and one scoop of Grow! whey, just to cut costs down a bit.
If I had the money to choose, i’d have a whey in the morning when I wake up, then have my eggs/oatmeal etc.
Any other time i’d have a casein shake.
P/WO is a recovery drink which has whey isolate in it anyway
